What can I say ladies and gentleman.. I was playing bully on my xbox 360 and then all of a sudden it froze.. then I restarted it.. and it happened.. I saw the dreaded RED RINGS OF DEATH!!!... I was surprised because I never thought it would happen to me. I mean I played it once in awhile. I am hardly a hard core gamer.. weeks go by without me touching the xbox so I really never thought it would happen. Yet it happened and it was not cool. If not for the fact that my machine broke down in 9 months I would have had a $450 paper weight. How in the hell could a company release such an expensive machine and have it break down like that. I was thinking about all of the systems I have brought in my gaming life. I have bought them all.. xbox.. ps.. ps2..ps3... saturn.. sega master system...genesis... 3do..gamecube.. nes.. super nes.. and none of them I say none of them broke down. I never had a problem with any of those systems ever. This is the first time I have ever had any problems with any system. I will admit microsoft was very easy with handling the situation. As I am sure they have had a lot of experience with this system breaking down. Hopefully within the next few days I will have a new xbox 360 or at least when GTA IV cones out. Lucky for me I bought a PS3 so I have a system to play. I bought oblivion for it so its good. I have a good game that should keep me occupied for a bit. I have to say this is the reason why microsoft will beat sony. What with the whole HD-DVD fiasco to the whole red rings of death thing how could sony be afraid. They are probably sitting back laughing while they see all the problems that the xbox has. Not to say that this is a bad system but be real.. you pay $450 for a NEW system and when it get damaged due to them making it faulty they will send you a refurbished system.. what the hell is that!!.. horrible..
